A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. The letterforms show crisp, sculpted curves and sharp terminals, with a vertical, composed stance and a measured, bookish rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase maintains a controlled, moderately compact texture; details like the two-storey a and g, the pointed w, and the brisk, tapering strokes reinforce a polished, display-leaning text color.
Well-suited to editorial design where high contrast and crisp serif detailing are desired—magazine typography, book covers and chapter openers, and refined brand systems. It shines in headlines, pull quotes, and larger text settings where the hairline serifs and sharp modulation can remain distinct.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, combining a classic publishing sensibility with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its delicate finishing and dramatic contrast give it a premium, poised character suited to refined typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice: formal proportions, dramatic contrast, and precise finishing that elevate typography for premium, editorial-led applications.
Spacing appears balanced with clear counters, but the hairline features and sharp joins suggest it will look best when given enough size or print resolution to preserve the fine details. Numerals and capitals read particularly clean and formal, contributing to a composed, high-end feel in mixed text.
